Just another Manic Monday


Grocery shopping

I live in Waco and I like bargains, so I shop at Walmart. I try to avoid the Waco Walmart and go to the Hewitt one as much as possible, but tonight I had to make the run to the Waco one. So I go, bcuz Z is sick and we have no food. So I'm like well I just need to get everything well I'm at it...soap, detergent, "candy", etc.. In my mind I know that I'm going to use the debit card bcuz we don't have any cash left this month (it's November 30th duh. We're on the Dave Ramsey envelope system where you budget your money and put it into envelopes and try the best you can to only spend what's in the envelope. or atleast that's the way we do it.) Anyways, so I literally go down every aisle I just get what we "need", right?? And there's a ton of people and when I get to check out of course there's no one at the registers and the lines are crazy (hence, the reason I don't like "grocery shopping". Waco Walmart has kinda ruined it for me.) I finally get through the line and the lady begins to check me out. I look in my wallet to find out that there is no debit card!!! (Dang it Ramsey!! I think it was a kind of 'in your face' reminder. stick to the envelope.) So I'm just about done.... I've worked all day, and it's a Monday mind you.. and I'm on the verge of tears. I call Zach and he immediately knows somethings wrong and says he'll be right there.... all my groceries are bagged and in the cart and I just have to wait for the card so that I can be re-rung up..yes, something happened with the suspense and I had to be rung up again. My sweet sweet sick hubby gets in line with me and says go home, I'll take care of this. I tried to say no, but by the third offer I was all over it. Zach took care of the groceries and I went to McDonald's to treat him for his sickness and kindness:) OK that's my story and my venting... conclusion: Have a Great Husband! and I guess stick to the envelopes
